The Clique was a late-1960s American sunshine pop band from Austin, Texas. They started as the Roustabouts in the Beaumont, Texas, area, 90 miles east of Houston. Next, they renamed themselves the Sandpipers before finally settling on the Clique in 1967. At that point they moved to Houston. Original members of the band were drummer John Kanesaw, bass guitar player Bruce Tinch, lead guitar player Cooper Hawthorne, lead singer and keyboard player Larry Lawson, singer and horn and saxophone player David Dunham, and Randy Shaw also on vocals and horns.
